Term Paper Mills Crank Out Plagiarism
A 3 year legal battle is coming to a climax as the University of Wisconsin is getting their day in court with the term paper mill R2C2 inc. R2C2 inc. sells term papers on the internet without the consent of the author, which is blatant plagiarism. the law suite was filed in 2006 and is intended to put a halt to term paper mills on the internet. Term paper mills resell the same papers an infinite amount of times to students that either pay to join a service for access to a database of term papers or pay to download individual papers that are available from a database of 1000’s of pre-written term papers. Term paper mills meet the criteria for plagiarism at several levels, most notably, using an author’s works without their permission. the author’s of the term papers that are downloaded receive no credit or compensation for the term paper that is being sold, nor have they given permission for the term paper mill to sell their work.
For over 10 years, Paper Masters has been warning students against the services of term paper mills and the legal ramifications of using them. Term paper mills sell the same projects over and over, without the author’s permission. Beyond being ethically wrong, term paper mills put each student at risk for legal ramifications of plagiarism when they download another author’s work without the permission of the author. Furthmore, nearly every term paper sold from term paper mills is logged in TurnItIn.com and sets the student up for getting sited for plagiarism by their University, as many Universities use the services of TurnItIn.com.
The University of Wisconsin will probably win this battle against the term paper mills due to the fact that they are charging them with using the works of an author without his permission. Unlike other law suites against term paper mills, U of W has a student, with a specific term paper that was used without his permission. Term paper services that sell custom written term papers with the author’s permission for distribution do not fall under the definition of plagiarism and are valuable educational services.
